True. I don't know why it was included in the dirty driving category. They pushed each other hard but fair and did not crash. Proper racing. Just because a driver ignored team orders doesn't make the racing itself dirty. Schumacher torpedoing Villeneuve or Senna and Prost in 89 are better examples of dirty driving.
@@Georgking8514 I get that, still disobeying a team order is not really at the top of my list for unsportsmanlike behavior. Regarding Vettel for example him banging wheels with Hamilton at Baku during a safety car is a better example for unsporting behavior from him. Vettel has disobeyed team orders many times at Ferrari too, possibly it cost him that drive in the end but for me dirty driving and crashing into opponents intentionally is way way worse than disobeying a team order.
@@gforce833 Because Vettel assured his team that he will not attack Webber, they told Mark and he didn`t go full gas to save his tyres. Then all of a sudden Vettel started attacking him.
To be fair, rules indicate that if the car behind has the pace to unlap he can clearly do it... Ocon was on super soft, and Verstappen on soft so he already has better rhytm... and a common sense thing.. you are winning, taking him a lap, do you neef to throw your car like that?, he was mad because he couldnt pass him for the tyred so he starts annoying, so, thats the result... ocon hasnt room where to go and make contact
Yes. Two men who acted at completely opposite ends of the scale. Damon is, to this day, a sportsman, gentleman,and ambassador for the sport. Graham Hill was in every way the same as Damon. After getting up to watch that race and feeling the anger and disappointment for Damon and the Williams team. On reflection, both drivers and teams showed exactly what they were.
schumacher did the same again (or tried to) with Villeneuve. Calling Schumcaher a multiple champion disgusts me. He is as good of a champion as Hamilton who "won" ceveral tours de France
@@ludodg Villeneuve is a waster. The Williams was the best car on the circuit in 1997. Schumacher's Ferrari was a piece of junk. Yet Schumacher managed to bring the champion to the wire. You know nothing about F1. You get told your opinion on RU-vid.
Yet german sheeple fans will defend this move adamantly. Even though Schumacher is one the best all time, his behavior was disgusting at times and the race commission turned a blind eye
The part about alonso blocking Hamilton leaves out the bit at the start of quali, where alonso was supposed to leave the pits first, but instead Hamilton’s garage colluded against him and sent Hamilton out first, which no one in alonsos garage took well
@Frank Bullitt Hamilton is the best driver ever. And, actually, he is the most popular driver ever, with 39 million social media followers around the world. That's 24 million more than anyone else. It's only ageing losers like you with a massive chip on your shoulder that have your pathetic, racist, small-minded opinion. Hamilton is the GOAT and the most loved ever.
@@Bluefire397 Yes he did. You have to remember Schumacher was banned for 3 races and black flagged from the British GP for overtaking poor ole Damon on the parade lap of the British GP that year. That's a possibility of 40 points in total. Schumacher is the champion of 1994. Hill dived-bombed him in Adelaide. What did he think Schumacher was going to do? jump out of his way! And on top of all that it's a known fact that the Williams was a superior car in 1994. Schumacher is the deserved champion.
And then he gets completely banned from the 1997 championship for driving into Villeneauve, in a move that only put himself off the track... And that was in a season where he LOST the championship!
Maybe calls I'm American and it's not nearly as common nore acceptable hear but team orders are gross and in complete opposition to the spirit of competition. It's a race let them race may the best man win.
@@robertstone9988 Well F1 is, first and foremost, a constructor's championship. So while team orders may be in opposition to the spirit of competition on the level of individual drivers, it is necessary for maximizing the performance of the team as a whole. Experience is, letting your drivers race each other affects the overall outcome negatively, sometimes drastically so. In that spirit, we could say that individual drivers wanting to one-up each other is in direct opposition to them racing together as a team. You see, it only really depends on what angle you're looking at it.
@@Navajonkee I'm all about the individual hear. No one becomes a athlete to make a team mate look good. I'm hear to compete I want to beat everyone every time. 2nd is first looser really. F1 is pretty gay.
@@robertstone9988 I believe you've never seen team sports, like, at all. Your preferences won't change facts. F1 is a competition between constructors. Drivers are merely overly popularized tools.
It’s amazing to me the Schumacher was constant bashed for his antics, but Senna was loved. I loved both drivers, but I’ve always thought that was ridiculous.
Watching "Senna", you could see that he was fighting against an unhealthily cosy Prost/FIA relationship, and an unscrupulous rival in Prost himself. His action at Suzuka was wrong, but could be seen as natural justice. Schumacher just rammed other drivers off the track to stop them beating him. Plain cynical and surely worse.
Oh so very true!...Prost deliberatly took Senna out at the tracks slowest point at Suzuka,...I have no particular axe to grind, but I lost a lot of respect for Prost that day.
@@cass276 kekw! he did not. Prost was ahead, Senna dove in. What was Prost supposed to do, just let him through? Classic race incident. But the 1990 incident was Senna being pure hooligan, luckily Noone got hurt. Senna was brilliant but when things didn't go his way he turned into some kind of a spoiled brat bitch.
I was watching the 89 crash life on Tv on vacation in the South of France and ofcourse they all blamed Senna. Revenge came the Year later and it tasted sweet..
Can you really blame Senna ? He saw the writing on the wall. No one listened and instead of holding back taking 2nd place in shame he proved his point.
The most unsportsmanlike thing was to put Sennas pole position on the dirty side of the track before the race, to support Prost. Which was done by his fellow frenchman Balestre. If i was Senna I would do the same. They took 1989 from him and wanted to do the same in 1990.
@@makkie211175 that's true, watch the old days of F1, the drivers would fight for real when some stupid lapped pilot makes something like this, and even if you are fighting for the position on that days, if you ruined the race of some pilots, they would jump on you for a beating.
Hungary 2007 had a backstory where alonso was to be lead car but lewis went out first and ruined alonso's lap so fernando in rage did his favours back to lewis
@@gabrielsiqueira4384 Because I don't like scumbags who will hurt others to get the stupid prize ? Or because I do not approve sore loosers who will use every dirty trick in the book to have their way ?
Senna's marboloro car was iconic but I think Prost's ferrari is one of the cleanest best looking cars in F1 history, along with Senna's Lotus 98t and all the 70s Lotus's
Senna's one was clear revenge from the previous year. It's funny how he wasn't disqualified from the race for the incident itself, but because he didn't just came back to the track in the most dangerous way (very fair). And next year when he took the pole it was in the dirty side of the track. A lot of coincidences going on
Yeah, people forget that Prost crashing into Senna at the chicane in 89 was also blatant cheating - when you see it from the front angle, Prost turns into Senna way before the corner, similar to Schumacher in Jerez 1997
Balestre was the main guy in F1 during that time so it's absolutely no surprise. I reckon the Balestre why didn't disqualify Senna from the whole title in 1990 is because he would have made it waaay too obvious he was pulling the strings in favor of Prost.
I didn’t get to see Senna or Prost in action back in the day, but my respect for Senna just dropped way down after watching him do that 100% on purpose.
A ME SENNA NON PIACEVA, NE LUI, NE LA SUA MCLAREN, MA PIù LO RIVEDO, E PIù SONO CONVINTO CHE SIA IL FRANCESE A CHIUDERE IL BRASILIANO, CHE OVVIAMENTE, AVEVA TUTTO DA GUADAGNARE DA UN TAMPONAMENTO DEL GENERE.. MAGARI PROST AVEVA IN MENTE DI BUTTARLO FUORI DAVVERO E PER PRIMO...
You have to look at the what proceeded it. Basically Senna took pole yet they put pole on the unfavorable side of the track starting for the first turn.. which from my understanding defeats the purpose of getting pole.
Verstappen pushes Ocon? Wtf? Ocon was lapped... Didn't have to be there taking such a risk. He deserved his theeth getting re-organized if you ask me 😂
Ocon has better pace... he was already unlapping... but child max doesnt tolerate to be pass so he brakes late and throw the car on ocon's car, and you get mad about it...
@@ignaci2330He had better pace? He was LAPPED. He should not go into a fight with anyone that it a lap ahead. Why do they get blue flags if they are allowed to 'fight' with cars that are a lap ahead? That simply doesn't make sense.
yeah, clearly it's absolutly "legendary" if a sports-championship is won without any sporting done by forcing a DQF in minute one, in other words, by cheating... -_-
Weird that it includes one example of Schumacher ramming his opponent to win a championship but not when he did the same thing again two years later and got stripped of all his points.
Many were taken out of context like Senna losing the championship earlier on Suzuka by a dubious disqualification as well as the sudden grid change so he had to start om the dirty side and Ocon really behaving like an absolute brick for ramming Max.
Dubious disqualification???? He was push started not to get to a safer spot but to cut a chicane and rejoin the race. There’s 2 illegal points there. Pole position was always on the dirty right side of the track at Suzuka. For at least the previous 7 seasons at least. HRH Senna was just whining as usual and making out that there was a conspiracy against him like he always did. When senna crashed or didn’t finish a race, it was always someone else’s fault. When HRH Senna won, it was because of his magnificence as a truly superb driver sent from heaven on the wings of angels.
@@thedeathlyhallows8087 push starts were not illegal back then. Cutting the chincane was necessary in order to avoid going backwards on the track to rejoin at the same spot. That was made clear in the driver's briefings the next year before the 1990 Suzuka GP, when Piquet raised the point and everybody agreed that the right to do was cutting the chicane. Yes, the pole had been in the dirty side in all previous races before 1990 and that was wrong, because it made being on pole a punishment rather than a reward for the fastest driver. When Senna raised this point BEFORE qualifying, everybody agreed to move the pole to the clean side, including the Stewards. But Balestre intervened to block it after Senna qualified on pole in the hopes that this would make him lose P1 at the start just like it happened in 1989. Whining and blaming others was Prost's thing, not Senna's.
You should add Schumacher too then. In 1994 the FIA banned / disqualified Schumacher for 4 races for pretty small infringements. He was by far the best driver that year and Hill did not deserve the title AT ALL and wouldn't be in contention if Schumacher participated / got points in all races.
@@zacharyradford5552 What does Schumacher have to do with the original comment? We’ve already seen you replying with similar hate in other comments so your bias is obvious. Both drivers are legends and had more similarities than either fan bases like to admit so quit deflecting with whataboutisms lol
Bullshit, Senna was only really unsportsmanlike once or twice in his entire career. He had every right to do what he did in 1990. His actions off track and saving Comas’ life more than redeemed his actions. He raced clean and fair in the last 3 years of his career anyways, even in the slower car.
@@motorsportfan1246 if you think only once or twice then you have no idea. How is deliberately causing a potentially fatal crash ever justified? All the times he stuck the car where it had no right to be causing huge collision and then jsut shrugged it off like nothing. Never once too responsibility for what he did. Yes he was a phenominal driver, but if you raced like him today yoj would be out of the sport. Martin brunel does a great segment on him where he shows senna deliberately crashes him off the circuit simply because he was faster
Senna crashing into Prost in 90 at Suzuka is only unsportsmanlike if you don’t know what happened the year before. He made it clear after 89 and going into the 90 race that if the situation were ever reversed, he wasn’t gonna let Prost even have a chance at spoiling his title.
Special mention for the Williams team sabotaging Carlos Reutemann's car so that he does not win the 1981 drivers' championship in Las Vegas USA. PS: That, Frank, was not very British of you.
Well, Patrick Head didn't gave a damn about Piquet's contract to give Mansell a head start in 86/87. Alan Jones himself threw his car against Piquet's in Canada 1980. In the end, there is a lot of shite on F1 Circus, but we love it, anyway.
Schumacher's current state notwithstanding, he was hands down the dirtiest driver to ever race F1. His antics in Australia in 1994, in Spain in 1997, at Spa against Hakkinen and at Monaco during qualifying, among many others, should rightfully tarnish the record of a 7-time WDC.
And by God Will ended up in the completely Vegetable Life he deserved for... What one does in THIS life one PAYS a much HIGHER price in this very SAME life...
Putting Verstappen at 5 for that incident is dumb. That was off the track and was a genuine grievance for Verstappen. Cost him the race. Ocon had no business contesting Verstappen on the track. That was Ocon's pride.
Yes. Lets try to kill another driver because your pissed. Thats childish he didnt even break. Both of them could have died if there was no gravel there.
The most unsportsmanlike moment in F1 history is without a doubt Schumacher trying to purposely take out Villeneuve in the 1997 season finale to stop him from winning the title. Had Schumacher succeeded and won the 97 championship because of this, his legacy today would be tainted.
Lewis has 7 titles, Alonso had the potential to do that to but ruined his career by always crwating drama because he couldnt accept losing to lewis, if anyones lost, its alonso.
There needs to be some context. Senna deliberately crashed into Prost, because the FIA put Prost in the better racing line even though Senna was in pole position. This followed on from the previous year in which Senna was DQ'd from the final race, leaving Prost to win due to some stupid technicality that was actually more dangerous than what Senna actually did.
@@lecrocodile5651 Have you ever watched a race? If you are in front you can move once and the once again to get back on the racing line aslong as it isn't dangerous. If you are the driver behind you can swerve as much as you want if there is no one behind you.
@@lecrocodile5651 Are you dumb? Moving won't make you lose downforce only tyre grip. If you are behind a car you will lose downforce. In a straight line downforce slows you down.
Schumacher Hill was ruled a racing incident by the stewards 🤷. Alonso blocking Hamilton was retaliation. Also Piquet crashing into the wall on purpose was one of the worst things a driver has done and should be here.
Schumacher had a broken car and knew it, He should not have been trying to take the racing line in the corner, He should have been trying to get out of the way of the other racers, Not trying to hit them 👍
if there were any questions that schumacher did it on purpose or not, it became clearer when in another season he tried to crash into villeneuve to save his championship and got disqualified from the whole thing...
Being recommended this after Hungary 2024 and it being my first Grand Prix I’ve watched in *years*, it’s nice to see that Verstappen has always been a grumpy boy 😂
One thing you should know abt max Winning: haha simply lovely car was amusing When he isn't fastest: this car is so **** for **** sake unbelievable man!! Oh and his racing technique Is 'yield the position or I crash into you and then blame you, oh and you expect me to leave you space? No chance mate! That's a premium service!' 😂
I lost so much respect for Webber in that race in Malaysia. The fact that he drove so unbelievable slow yet had the mentality of "Daddy RB wants me to win. stawp it Seb, stawp it!" and then almost ended the race for both of them. What a nice teammate
It's fine from a racing perspective and actually maybe more sportsmanlike since team orders were banned then. But if you have team orders you to hold position and you don't it's disrespectful. Not to mention Red Bull's handling of the aftermath led Webber to believe that he was number 2 and they weren't equal. I'd argue moves like that will hurt the team in the long run as you will eventually end up taking each other out.
Nnpp.... It's not "fairly passing" when the driver in front has changed in engine settings as per the team order and the guy behind doesn't follow that.
@@chrisbduck1938 I think Webber realized his "#2" status in the team at the 2010 British Grand Prix itself when the team had brought in two new superior front wings for their drivers and when Vettel damaged his wings in the practice, they moved Webber's wings to his car. His post race radio comment is legendary!
@@Ricsi15 im not sure about this entire fiasco, but from what I know hamilton just disobeyed team orders, right? well anyways still pretty shitty to do that to a teammate
Vettel may not have believed them and carried on. He could have rejoined further than 2nd and he could have went to the data post-race and saw no slow puncture. Or, the tyre manufacturer at the time could examine the tyres like they usually do and see no punctured tyre, then call Red Bull out.
I don't think Verstappen pushing Ocon was one of the worst things we have seen in F1. Especially since Verstappen later revealed that Ocon was taunting him on the scales.
Senna should have been disqualified permanently from F1 after that stunt in 1990. A dirty driver if I ever saw one. Very good selection of incidents, but I can't agree at all about Adelaide 1994. Yes, the 1997 incident with Villeneuve was dirty driving and Schumacher deserved to be disqualified, which he even admitted himself after seeing the TV images, but 1994 in Adelaide was 100% Hill's fault. He tried to go left, realised he couldn't and had to brake to match Schumacher's speed. At that moment his chance to pass Schumi was gone. However, he got desperate and tried to move to the right into a gap that didn't exist, and Schumacher was perfectly justified in closing the door. And I absolutely hated Schumacher at the time and I screamed for his head during this incident. However, time has given me clarity and I can now see it was all Hill's fault.
The Verstappen x Ocon discussion looks like a gentlemens agreement when you compare Piquet x Salazar, where equally the leader was took off by a lapped opponent. In that case Piquet took the revenge into his hands, literally!
@@andredeketeleastutecomplex yeah right Lewis was on Alonso’s ass the whole time and he couldn’t take the heat. look at alonso now, driving one of the shittier mid field cars on the grid, while Hamilton is sitting on top
I mean… I’d argue senna’s move was “karma’s a bitch” since Prost did the same thing the year before. I’d also argue ocon deserved more than a push for driving, well, like he always has.
Ocon was 1 lap behind already, but he had new fresh super soft tyres to recover time and was making better pace than max, rules indicates he can unlap to the leader... the problem is the mentally age of max of 10, you pass him and he never let it go... so he push when he shouldnt and close too much the room... here the result...
